Options for actions to reduce identified risks: prevention of transmission of C. auris in healthcare settings

چکیده
Isolates of Candida species from invasive infections should be identified to species level.

However, they differ from many other species in their ability to grow at temperatures in excess of 42 °C, a characteristic which has potential as a quick screening test, provided that the results are confirmed by other methods.
